Where was this strap purchased from?

Looks great!

Real nice collection!!

Just curious but do you have any more pics of your two-tone Datejust on straps? I have a similar Tudor Prince Oysterdate and am thinking of getting a few straps for it too.

Thanks.

Sorry. I don't have any more pics of it at the moment.
I'd recommend a perlon on the Oysterdate.
I also had a Vintage Omega, and it looked really good on the perlon strap.
